This tag is from the Tag Builder Blueprints 2 and it's such a fun, versatile set! There are three different styles of tags with cute little toppers!

simon says stamp splendor

An amazing collection of stamps, dies, stencils and more just hit the Simon Says Stamp shop, the Splendor collection!!! 

I have a feeling that I'm going to be creating A LOT of cards with it but I already have a favorite card (and die set) that I couldn't resist sharing ASAP!

The Simple Flowers die seems just that, simple. But I see so many possibilites! I recommend adding it to cart immediately, LOL!

For this card I used the die three times on A2 piece of white cardstock.

Then I ink blended a rainbow with some of my favorite Distress Oxide inks (Carved Pumpkin, Picked Raspberry, Shaded Lilac, Salvaged Patina and Twisted Citron) on the front of a folded card.

I adhered the flowers panel over the rainbow, added in just a few of the flower middles, added a sentiment from the Friendship Bingo set and a little faux splatter with a pen.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Hugs!!!

rainbow birthday cards + ppp blog hop day 1

Pretty Pink Posh is celebrating their 10th birthday with an adorable collection of new stamps, dies, stencils & more! And we are having an amazing 5 day blog hop that's just bursting with cardmaking ideas and inspiration!!!

Before I show you what I made, there's more fun! There are five $30 gift certificates to Pretty Pink Posh up for grabs! Enter to win by leaving comments along the hop by 11:59pm PST of February 16th, 2024. The winners will be announced on the PPP blog.

And one more thing...Pretty Pink Posh has a gift for YOU!

Now let me show you some of the rainbow birthday cards I've created...

When I see a cover plate die, I have to turn it into a shaker card! I think it's a rule, LOL! And this Star Cover Plate was no exception!

For this card I ink blended my favorite rainbow of Distress Oxide inks (Carved Pumpkin, Picked Raspberry, Shaded Lilac, Salvaged Patina & Twisted Citron) on the front of my folded card. I spread some Glossy Accents over the ink and sprinkled on some chunky glitter. After it was dry, I used foam tape to build a shaker container on top. I filled it with Iridescent Circle Confetti, sealed it with acetate and topped it with a panel cut with the Star Cover Plate. Simple but bright & happy!

Next I made a easy one layer card with ink blending and stenciling...

I used low-tack tape to mask a section on my card front. Then I blended a rainbow with Distress Oxide inks. I placed the Birthday Words Stencil over the top and applied the same colors in the same places. Then I removed the tape and added a little sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Birthday set and some faux splatter (done with a pen).

If you started at the beginning then I am your last stop on the hop but here's the whole hop list in case you missed anyone...

mft friendship & flowers card kit

The MFT Friendship & Flowers Card Kit just hit the shop and it's perfection! I can't get enough of these floral stencils!!!

Yesterday I used the stencils to create a background for one of my favorite big word dies (see it here) and today I've got a clean & simple swatch style card!

Before stenciling, I masked the bottom of the card front with a little low-tack tape. Then I stenciled with this bright palette of inks:

• Lemon Drop
• Candied Yam
• Moroccan Spice
• Limelight

After stenciling all the layers, I removed the tape and stamped a sweet sentiment from the Essential Friendship Messages.

I highly recommend heading over to the MFT blog to see more and maybe shop too ;)

Thanks for stopping by!

flowering fun at mft stamps

Something fun is flowering in the MFT Stamps shop this week!

Have you seen the gorgeous MFT Flower Fusion stencils? I love them so much and I'm THRILLED that they are releasing a second set of layering stencils tomorrow with the Friendship & Flowers card kit! Wanna little peek?

For this card I used the stencils on Sno Cone cardstock with a palette of blues, purple & green...

• Sno Cone
• Summer Splash
• Cornflower
• Grapesicle
• Limelight

Then I used the stenciled panel as a background, pairing it with my long-time fav A Very Big Hi. And I added a little stamped sentiment with the Geometric Greenery set.

Please pop over to the MFT blog when you have a chance for more info about the Friendship Flowers card kit and to see more inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by!
